Abstract

The present paper studies general CD grammar systems, whose components are general grammars, so they are computationally complete, and it investigates them working under the * mode and t mode. Most importantly, the paper presents two types of transformations that turn arbitrary general grammars into equivalent two-component general CD grammar systems with a context-free component and a non-context-free component. From the first type of transformations, the non-context-free component results with two rules of the form 11->00 and 0000->epsilon, while the other type of transformations produces the non-context-free component with two rules of the form 11->00 and 0000->2222. Apart from this significant reduction and simplification, the paper describes several other useful properties concerning these systems and the way they work. A formulation of several remarks and open problems closes this paper.
